We started in February 2015, AquaNew’s monthly tradition of recognizing “AHA!” Discoveries. The first was the famous practical tool, the “Pocket Fisherman”, designed by Walter Herbst. The past AHA’s between February 2015 and December 2017 can be found here.
You know you’ve experienced it – that special “AHA!” moment of realization that seems to hit you when you least expect it. Some find it through meditation, self-reflection, brainstorming, creative pursuits, or spending time in nature.
We invited anyone to share their inspirational revelation, their own Ahh-mazing “AHA!” Discovery, with us. For part of 2018, we are spotlighting AquaNew CEO Rob Gourley’s Inventified Family Members and Childhood Friends.
Below is a compilation of these discoveries …
